Are kids these days getting bigger feet? My grandson, aged 14, is also in size 13. OK, he's a big lad but not quite six foot tall. God knows what he'll be like when he "grows up". Are they all growing big feet to cope with the coming floods (a la Waterworld?)

ha ha yes size 13 feet. Age 14 Six foot two tall I reckon he might make six four or six five but I hope his feet stop growing, he's gone from a 10 1/2 to a 13 in under a year. Biped managed to get hold of some size 13 combat boots for me, but I'm looking for a pair for best for the lad.

I am also a size 13, managed to pick up some boots for cheap from an outdoor store that were ex-display. The woman thought she was going to have to write them off as she thought no-one would ever buy them!

So I'm still looking for these boots for my lad and I'm trying every surplus store of every description that I can find when I came across this on e-bay. Always had my suspicions about "Them" and "the Para's" being a little bit in touch with their feminine sides. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course in today's diverse Army.
